FOREWORD 



Thirty-eight years ago, Mr. Franklin Peter Shumway, a 
Boston merchant, issued the following circular, sending it to all 
the Shumways of whom he could learn: 

"CIRCULAR 
Dear Sir: 

Is it desirable to have a meeting of the Shumway Family? 
Is it not well to erect a Monument of some kind to the memory 
of Peter Shumway, ist, a French Huguenot, who left his home 
and country on account of reUgious persecution, about the year 
1695, came to Boston, Mass., in the same vessel with Peter 
Faneuil, (Faneuil Hall) and the Sigourneys; married there an 
English Lady, Miss Smith, and settled with a colony of his own 
people at Oxford. The place, or farm, where he lived and died 
is known, and the place or very near the spot in the old Church- 
yard where he was buried. Portions of a fort they built for 
protection from Indians are still standing. 

The names of his sons were Oliver, Jeremiah, David, John, 
Jacob, Samuel and Amos. 

All the Shumways in America are unquestionably descend- 
ants of the said Peter. 

It is the earnest desire of my father, Peter Shumway, now 
at the age of 94 years, grandson of Jeremiah and son of Peter, 
that I invite your attention to this matter, and ask your interest 
and co-operation. 

Have not the persecutions of the French Protestants in years 
past an important bearing upon the present condition of that 
people ? 

A very interesting sketch of the Huguenots in France and 
America may be found in Harper's Magazine for November, 
1870. 

The writer will be pleased to receive any items of special 
interest with reference to the family. Please to circulate this 



8 Genealogy of the Shumway Family 

note to persons of the same name and if you wish for more I 
will send them to you. 

An answer at your earliest convenience will oblige, 
Yours, Very truly, 

F. Peter Shumway. 
Leominster, Mass., May i, 1871." 

To this circular, and his enthusiasm for a memorial in some 
form to our ancestors is due the credit of an influence which 
set in motion the work of compiling this Genealogy. The col- 
lection of statistics and facts was prosecuted, at first, with no 
intention of publication; but as the mass of material increased, 
it seemed desirable to give it a permanent form, and also to share 
its interest with those bearing the name who might care for it. 

It is fitting that grateful acknowledgement should be made 
to the hundreds of correspondents who have aided so greatly 
in bringing together the statistics and history. Without their 
help, this measure of success would have been impossible. Many 
have sent in, voluntarily, supplementary reports of births, mar- 
riages and deaths, during the years required for preparation of 
the book, so that their records are complete to date. 

I wish, further, to acknowledge the assistance I have had 
from D. B. Hixon in preparing the manuscript for the printer. 

Doubtless, some errors will appear. No Genealogy was ever 
published, probably, without them. Members of the same family 
have disagreed as to dates of births, &c. in the lists furnished. 
I have accepted official records as final authority in such cases, 
if I had them. 

Besides personal letters, the sources of information have 
been the official State, Town and Church records, the "old family 
Bibles", tombstone inscriptions, newspaper clippings, town his- 
tories, etc. The memories of some of the octogenarians of the 
family have also been a prolific source of interesting historical 
facts which they could recall and narrate. I have had transcripts 
made of all items relating to Shumways in the various Town 
Records of Oxford, Belchertown, Boxford, Topsfield, Boston, 
Worcester, Sturbridge, Webster, Dudley, Charlton, Rowe, 
(Mass.) ; Thompson, N. Grosvenordale, (Conn.) ; and Monk- 
ton, (Vt). 



Genealogy of the Shumway Family 9 

The plan of the work is to run out the Hne of posterity 
through the oldest child in each successive family until it ends 
— either with the present generation, or a married daughter where 
the name Shumway is lost; then completing the record of the 
latest family, and working back to the original starting point. 
The descendants of married daughters are not given beyond the 
first family of children in each case (those whose mother was 
a Shumway), and such names are not numbered. While it 
would have been interesting to have traced these further, it 
would have increased the size and cost of the book beyond a 
reasonable limit. 

In the lists of children, the sign + prefixed to a name 
signifies that a personal notice may be found further on, the 
page of which may be ascertained by reference to the Index. 
The direct ancestors of such names as appear in capitals are in 
the parenthesis following the name. 

A persistent effort has been made to obtain the military 
records of the Shumways in the Revolutionary and earlier Wars, 
also the Mexican, Civil and Spanish Wars. Transcripts were 
made from the voluminous early records in Boston, and consider- 
able information obtained of interest to the present generation. 
Personal histories have also been solicited from correspondents, 
to which requests many have responded. It is a matter of regret 
that much information of this nature which would have enriched 
the book further, was not obtainable. This historical matter is 
related, necessarily, in a brief, concise manner, to economize 
space, as the publication of any Genealogy is an expensive under- 
taking. 

No one realizes the deficiencies of the book more than 
myself; yet, I trust it will not prove disappointing to the numer- 
ous members of the family, particularly those in the West who 
have expressed such enthusiastic interest in its preparation. I 
hope it may also kindle a more fervent regard for the sterling 
elements of character of our worthy ancestors in the children 
of the present generation.

10 Genealogy of the Shumway Family 



CHAPTER I. 

ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY. 

The traditions, which have come down from one generation 
to another, all declare that the SHUMWAY family was of 
French origin. They declare further, that the progenitor of the 
family in this country was not only a Frenchman, but a Hugue- 
not. As it would be exceedingly gratifying to trace the family 
to so noble a source, no effort has been spared in the work of 
investigation that, if possible, these traditions might be confirmed 
as historical facts. 

Abiel Holmes, D.D., in his description of visits to Oxford, 
Mass., in 1819 and 1825, in search of information concerning the 
Huguenot colony which settled that town, uses the following 
language (Mass. Hist. Coll. H, 80) : *'We next went in search 
of the Johnson place, memorable for the Indian massacre in 
1696. Mr. Peter Shumway, a very aged man of French descent, 
who lives about thirty rods distant from it, showed us the spot. 
The last year I called at Mr. Shumway's (1825), he told me 
that he was in his ninety-first year; that his great-grandfather 
was from France." 

The family name is held, by many, to be a corruption of 
the French "Chamois" (pronounced Shamwah). Mr. George F. 
Daniels, in his interesting little book, "The Huguenots in the 
Nipmuck Country", incorporates the following letter from Mr. 
Charles W. Baird: 

"My Dear Sir: 

In view of the tradition regarding the French extraction of 
the Shumway family, I can only ofifer the conjecture that the 
name may have undergone a transformation similar to that 
which has befallen many Huguenot names in England and 
America. If French, the name "Chamois" offers a probable 
solution. The transition from this to "Shumway" would be 
very easy. A Protestant family bearing this name is mentioned 
in a list of fugitives from the neighborhood of St. Maixent 
(in the old province of Poitou, in the present department of 



Genealogy of the Shumway Family 11 

Deux-Sevres), France, at the period of the revocation of the 
Edict of Nantes. A number of Huguenots found their way 
to New England at an earHer day; and a Chamois, the founder 
of the Shumway family, may have been one of these. 

Very Truly Yours, 

Charles W. Baird. 
George F. Daniels, Esq/' 

The following from the town records of Topsfield, Mass., 
is of interest in this connection, both for its early date, and its 
mention of Peter Shumway: 

'May y*^ 20 1685. I Thomas Hunter Atuereney to my 
mother Prizzalah Trow alies Hunter doe hereby a quite and dis- 
charge y^ Selectmen of Topsfield in y^ behalfe of y^ Towne of 
Topsfield of all y*^ moveball Estate yt was Luke Waklens in 
Topsfield ; for they have given me a full and true an a Count 
of all yt was delivered to Pet Chomway by y^ Selectmen and 
delivered it to mee and what was in other men hands- thay have 
given mee an a Count of whereby I doe discharge y^ Selectmen 
in y^ behalfe of y^ Towne and Peter Chomway from any part 
of this Estate before menened in as full ampley a maner as my 
Mother Trow aliss Hunter Could a done and if she was here 
prsant her selfe, wharby I doe by this prsant a quite discharge 
and release y^ Selectmen and Peter Chomway from all and 
Everey parte & parcell of yt Estate above menened as witnes 
my hand y^ day & yeare above wrighten, Thomas Hunter 

This was seigned & delivered in y^ presents of us 
William Smith Senr and Joseph Smith" 

The letter "C" beginning the name as given in this docu- 
ment might be considered a slight confirmation of the theory 
already stated. 

Some have also attempted to trace the name "Germain" 
(Zhermah) through "Jermer" to Shumway. There have been 
no records discovered by the compiler of this work, showing the 
name in any form by which this theory could be substantiated. 

The fact of the French origin of the Shumways may be 
considered as fairly well substantiated ; historically, their descent 
from the Huguenots, rests thus far, upon tradition only.

b. April lo, 1635; d. in 1695; m. Frances ; children:

+6 Joseph, b. Oct. 13, 1686. 

PETER SHUMWAY, the first of the family in this country, 
probably came to America some time between 1660 and 1675. 
He was born in 1635, as we learn from his will, reproduced 
further on, and would doubtless not leave his home until past 
his majority; the records show his name on the roll of the 
colonial soldiers of Massachusetts as early as 1675. 

It is well known that this was a period of active migration 
among the Huguenots ; and as a matter of interest to us, in view 
of the tradition previously alluded to, it may be profitable to 
note, briefly, the influences which promoted French emigration 
during those years. 

The restiveness under Papal aggressions and abuses, which 
in Germany found expression under the leadership of Martin 
Luther, was largely shaped and directed in France by John 
Calvin. For many years there had been collisions, and even civil 
war between the Papal powers and their adherents on the one 
hand, and the French Protestants (called "Huguenots") on the 
other. The policy of the Huguenots was to popularize religion. 
The Bible was translated from the original Greek and Hebrew 
into the French language; its distribution and study among the 
nobles and peasants, by the learned and the illiterate were encour- 
aged ; the Psalms were arranged in metre and set to tunes, some 
of which, it is said "are sung to this day," and this influence 
operated powerfully "for the decline of Popery, and the propaga- 
tion of the Gospel in France." 

Henry, Prince of Navarre, who afterward became Henry 
IV. of France, was friendly to the Huguenots ; and after his 
accession to the throne in 1589. although, yielding to the neces- 
sity of the times he became a Catholic, he still retained his 



Genealogy of the Shumway Family 13 

friendly feeling toward the Protestants. In 1598 he issued the 
famous "Edict of Nantes", which conferred certain privileges 
upon them, and guaranteed a degree of religious liberty through- 
out the kingdom. The edict was declared to be "perpetual and 
irrevocable." It gave to the Protestants liberty of conscience, 
and the free exercise of their religion; free access to all places 
of dignity and honor ; liberal sums of money for the payment of 
their troops; and certain funds for the future maintenance of 
their preachers, and their garrisons. In this last provision was 
laid the foundation for future conflicts between the two hostile 
parties. Possibly also, this continued maintenance of an armed 
soldiery was the means of inspiring martial zeal in our ancestor ; 
for he is introduced to us as a soldier in his first authentic 
appearance in the records. The events of this history become 
interesting to us, therefore, as they show the circumstances which 
possibly influenced his early life. 

The provisions of the Edict were enforced by Henry dur- 
ing his reign; but under the succeeding kings, Louis XIII., and 
Louis XIV., the Papists began to assert their opposition more 
efifectually. One after another, the privileges conferred by the 
Edict were denied, and new forms of persecution began to appear, 
the aim of which was to drive the Protestants back into the 
Romish Church, and to intimidate others from joining them. 
Enactments were passed, prescribing heavy penalties upon all 
who should become Protestants, also rewarding such as would 
recant that faith. The Protestants were excluded from all the 
learned professions; skilled mechanics were forbidden by law to 
receive them as apprentices. In 1666, they were prohibited from 
taxing themselves for the support of their ministers; and in 
1680 it was declared unlawful to build a Protestant house of 
worship in the vicinity of a Romish church. These and other 
acts were the steps which led to a culmination in the repeal of 
the Edict of Nantes in 1685. From 1661 to 1674 (a period of 
special interest to us) armed collisions, and actual wars between 
the contending powers were frequent. The reigning king (Louis 
XIV.), was bitterly determined to destroy the Huguenots; hence 
it is not strange that multitudes of them gave up all hope of 
any future for themselves, or their faith in France, and began 
to look elsewhere for a refuge. 



14 Genealogy of the Shumway Family 

We find them, during this period especially, leaving France 
in large numbers, and seeking homes in other lands, but notably 
in America. It has been estimated that the number of those who 
left their country during the few years immediately preceding 
the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, was at least five hundred 
thousand. Colonies went to Switzerland, England, Germany, 
Holland; while in this country, settlements by the Huguenots 
were made in Florida, South Carolina, New York, Rhode Island, 
Virginia, and in Massachusetts. 

An early trace of authentic history in the life of Peter Shum- 
way L, appears in a petition by his son, Peter Shumway, of Ox- 
ford, Mass. (Mass. Arch. XLVI. 212), and which we present 
herewith : 

"To the Honorable Spencer Phips, Esq., Lieut. Governor, 
and Commander in Chief in and over His Majestie's Province 
of the Massachusetts Bay, in New England : 

The Honorable Council and House of Representatives in 
General Court assembled: 

The Memorial of Peter Shumway of Oxford, most humbly 
showeth that whereas your humble memorialist" did many years 
ago prefer a petition to the Honorable General Court of this 
Province praying that as he is the legal heir and representative 
of Peter Shumway of Topsfield who was a long time in the 
service of this Country and particularly in the Narragansett war 
and taking of the Indian fort there which he in said petition 
proved by living testimonies and which he believes the Honorable 
John Chandler and others worthy members of this Honorable 
Court do yet remember. 

And whereas your aged, decrepid and poor memorialist hath 
never yet received any gratuity, or reward in land or otherwise 
for his said father's services and sufferings as many others have 
done, your most humble memorialist again most humbly prayeth 
this Honorable Court in their wonted goodness and compassion 
would make him a grant of some piece of Country land for said 
services, or otherwise as in their great wisdom they (see) fit: 
which will oblige your most humble memorialist — as in duty 
bound will ever pray. 

(Signed) Peter Shumway. 

March 23, 1749-50." 



Genealogy of the Shumway Family 15 

The capture of the Indian Fort in Rhode Island alluded to 
in the foregoing petition was an achievement which, for bravery, 
heroism, and all soldierly qualities, has been seldom equalled 
in the annals of warfare. Had it occurred a century later, it 
would have occupied a more prominent place in recorded New 
England history; but as only one of the events of those primitive 
and stirring times when the inhabitants were few, and scarcely 
realized the importance of the history they were making, it has 
been obscured to some extent. The petition was probably sug- 
gested by a proclamation made to the soldiers at the time by the 
Massachusetts Council, that, "if they played the man, took the 
fort, and Drove the Enemy out of the Narragansett country, 
which was their stronghold, they should have a gratuity in land, 
besides their wages." 

The part which our ancestor had in this, and other similar 
service has caused him to be styled "Peter the Soldier." This 
title is also a convenient one by which to distinguish him from 
those of his immediate posterity who bore the same Christian 
name, which, it seems was a favorite all along the line. 

As this engagement at Fort Narragansett is the earliest 
event in the life of Peter the Soldier, of which we have an 
authentic account, the story may properly be inserted here as 
introducing him to us, with almost the abruptness with which 
Elijah the Tishbite appears in the pages of Holy Writ. 

King Philip was probably the greatest military genius of 
the Indian race. He saw the gradual encroachment upon the 
territory of the Indian by the white man, and that unless some- 
thing was done to check this, the Indian was doomed. He con- 
• ceived the idea of allying all the New England tribes in one 
decisive campaign against the white settlers. The younger war- 
riors insisted upon aggressive movements before the more cau- 
tious Philip was ready; and he was finally compelled to yield, 
and "King Philip's war" was inaugurated. Swansea, Mass. 
(about 25 miles S. E. of Plymouth), was the first town sacked 
and burned in July, 1675. Brookfield, and other settlements 
followed in rapid succession. The Indians then went into winter 
quarters within the territory of Rhode Island, near what is now 
the site of Kingston. Here they had built a large stockade, or 
fort, on an upland in the midst of a swamp, and known in the 



16 Genealogy of the Shumway Family 

histories as Fort Narragansett. It covered five or six acres, and 
was built of strong palisades, driven into the earth, and piled 
inside with trees and brush crowded together, making a barri- 
cade of fifteen or twenty feet in thickness. Within this enclosure 
were about five hundred wigwams, whither they had sent their 
wives and children on the commencement of hostilities, and 
where their winter supply of corn, acorns, &c. was stored. Here, 
about three thousand strong, they waited for spring, and mean- 
time prepared for a renewal of the fight. 

The settlers determined to attack the Indians in their strong- 
hold, and by one decisive blow, annihilate the enemy, and deliver 
the settlements. If the advantage gained by this heroic achieve- 
ment had been properly followed up, the result would have been, 
doubtless, what was planned. It made heavy demands upon the 
courage and endurance of these men, to undertake such a cam- 
paign in midwinter; but the volunteers were at once forthcoming 
in prompt and patriotic response to the call. The Massachusetts 
colony furnished 527 men; Plymouth 159; Connecticut 315; 
besides these, 150 friendly Mohegans (Mohicans), led by the 
two sons of Uncas, joined the force. Josiah Winslow, governor 
of Plymouth colony, was elected commander. The six com- 
panies from Massachusetts were mustered on Dedham plain 
December 9th (?), 1675. The weather was bitterly cold, and 
snow had already fallen. The next day, the column started, and 
were joined on the march, by the Plymouth and Rhode Island 
men, and pursued their course through the snow toward the 
stronghold of the enemy. 

About five o'clock in the afternoon, they reached the place 
intended for a general rendezvous, and where it was proposed 
to encamp for the night. It was discovered, however, that the 
buildings had been burned, and there was no shelter for officers 
or men; so they were compelled to continue the march through 
the snow. Amid these difficulties, they proceeded until one o'clock 
in the afternoon of the next day, without fire to warm them, or 
even food, excepting what they could eat while they marched. 
The cold was so intense that hands and feet w^ere frozen, in many 
instances. 

Suddenly, about one o'clock in the afternoon of December 
19th (?), they emerged from the woods and found themselves 



Genealogy of the Shumway Family 17 

upon the edge of the swamp, and within sight of the enemy. 
There was no time for a plan, or consultation as to where and 
how to assault. The stockade was surrounded by a deep ditch, 
bridged by a single log, which was the only means of access to 
it, and which spot was fully exposed to the enemy's fire. 

The van of the little army was composed of Massachusetts 
men ; and the front ranks, discovering a few Indians outside the 
fort, at once opened fire upon them, which gave the alarm. As 
they rushed down to cross the log, a cruel fire cut them off, 
one after another, but they never flinched. They closed up the 
gaps in the line, — crossing the log so promptly, that soon the 
Indians were unable to reload fast enough, and a large number 
of the settlers gained the upland. 

There was likewise, only one entrance to the stockade, and 
on which side was unknown to the besiegers. As one quaint 
account describes this juncture of the fight: — "wherefore the 
"good Providence of Almighty God is the more to be acknowl- 
"edged, who, as He led Israel by the pillar of fire and cloud of 
"His presence a right way through the wilderness, so did He 
"now direct our forces upon that side of the fort where they 
"might enter, though not without the utmost danger and 
"hazard." 

The whites, on gaining the inside of the enclosure, at once 
set fire to the wigwams, and routed the disorganized Indians, 
who fled into the forest, leaving wives, children and everything 
behind. The fight lasted for nearly three hours ; about one 
thousand Indians were slain; eighty of the whites, including six 
captains, were killed, and one hundred and fifty wounded. Some 
of the latter perished in returning over the long distance, before 
a place could be reached where they could be cared for. 

Such was the event that introduces to us "Peter the Soldier," 
among these eleven hundred "heroes unsung;" and his right to 
the title does not rest upon this one event. Evidently he was 
called upon for frequent service during the early troubles with 
the Indians ; for his son Peter, in the memorial previously given, 
alludes to hijpi as having been "a long time in the service of his 
country." He may be regarded, therefore, as one of the earliest 
of the "Minute-men," to whose heroism the present civilization 
owes so much. His "louing naighbower and frinde," Captain 



18 Genealogy of the Shumway Family 

John Peabody, was commander of a company, to which he may 
have belonged, though no record to that effect has been 
discovered. 

The military life of those times was intermittent ; and in the 
intervals of such service, our ancestor was engaged in tilling 
the soil. He seems to have owned no land, but probably operated 
a farm under lease from Capt. Peabody. 

His earliest known residence was in Topsfield, Mass., after- 
wards in the adjoining settlement of Boxford^ though he and 
his goodwife Frances continued to attend the Topsfield church. 
They are not recorded among its members, but their children 
were baptized there, perhaps under the plan of "owning y^ 
covenant," or the so-called "half-way covenant." 

The following action of the town of Topsfield appears in 
its records: "At the Town Meeting 7 March 1681-2, The Town

The will of Peter Shumway I. is dated April 10, 1695 : 
The appraisal of his estate, June 10, 1695. His death, therefore, 
occurred between these dates. The will is a quaint old document, 
and is here given, verbatim.

Samuel Shumway^* (Peter^),

The expedition referred to consisted of six English vessels, 
joined by thirty of New England, and four New England regi- 
ments. It sailed from Boston in September, 1710. Its object 
was the conquest of Newfoundland (then in the hands of the 
French), for the sake of colonial acquisition, and also the protec- 
tion and security of the New England fishermen. In six days 
the fleet anchored before the fortress of Port Royal. The gar- 
rison was weak, and so short of supplies that famine would 
soon have compelled a surrender. 

Terms of capitulation were easily arranged, and the defend- 
ers of the fortress, 156 in number, marched out with the honors 
of war — to beg food as alms. From that day to this, the English 
flag has floated over the town.

indicate that Joseph returned in safety from the fishing voyage: 

"to charges in sickness & funeral 12-00-00.'

Peter Shumway^ (Peter^), 

b. June 6, 1678; d. in 1751 ( ?) ; m. Maria Smith of Boxford, 
Mass., Feb. 11, 1700-1 ; she was b. Dec, 18, 1677, d. Jan. 17, 
1738, in Oxford; children: 

+ 7 OHver, b. May 10, 1701, 

+ 8 Jeremiah, b. Mar. 21, 1703, 

+ 9 David, b. Dec. 23, 1705, 
10 Mary, b. May 9, 1708 ; m. to Caleb Barton Dec. 6, 1725 ;

14 Hepzibah, b. Apr. 6, 1720; m. to Kosick Walker. Nov. 
12, 1841 ; 

+ 15 Amos, b. Jan. 31, 1722. 

From these seven sons have descended all the Shumways 
found in this country. The posterity of each is grouped in a 
separate chapter under its appropriate head. 

Peter Shumway, the eldest son of The Soldier, removed 
from Topsfield, Mass., to Oxford about 1714. Oxford was a 
settlement in the heart of the so-called "Nipmuck Country." The 
details of the occupation of this locality by the white man con- 
stitute one of the most interesting chapters of colonial history ; 
and a brief resume of the principal facts may be appropriate 
here. Oliver Wendell Holmes calls it "the second colony of 
Pilgrim Fathers:" and several books have been devoted to a 
record of these early Western pioneers and their experiences, 
to some of which, we are indebted for our details. 

The boundaries of the "Nipmuck Country" were not very 
clearly defined, but it extended from the vicinity of the present 
Natick, westerly to the Connecticut River, and southerly, from 
the vicinity of Worcester twenty-five or thirty miles into the 
State of Connecticut. The Nipmuck Indians were more peace- 



Genealogy of the Shumway Family 29 

fully inclined than the coast tribes, and more disposed to asso- 
ciate with the whites, as well as more open to civilized and 
religious teaching. 

The General Court of Massachusetts, desiring to meet their 
wants in these respects, passed an order in 1644 inaugurating 
measures looking toward their Christianization, thus becoming, 
as Palfrey says, "the first missionary society in the history of 
Protestant Christendom." In 1646, John Eliot began his labors 
as the "Apostle to the Indians," in what is now a part of New- 
ton. He established schools, founded churches, installed native 
pastors and teachers among many tribes, even reaching the far 
off Nipmucks. 

The first movement towards the settlement of Oxford was 
in 1683. On May i6th, of that year, the General Court of 
Massachusetts made the following grant of land for the new 
town: 

"This Court hauing information that some gentlemen in 
England are desirous to remoove themselues into this colony, 
& (if it may be) to setle themselues vnder the massachusets ; 
for the incouragement of such persons, & that they may haue 
some from among themselves, according to their motion, to assist 
and direct them in such a designe, this Court doth grant to Major 
Robert Thompson, Willjam Stoughton, and Joseph Dudley Esq., 
and such others as they shall associate to them, a tract of land, 
in any free place, conteyning eight miles square, for a touneship, 
they setling in the sajd place w'thin fower yeares, thirty familjes, 
& an able orthodox minister, and doe allow to the sajd touneship 
freedom from country rates for fower yeares from the time aboue 
Ijmitted." 

The tract comprised about sixty-five square miles, and in- 
cluded, besides the present Oxford, nearly the whole of Charlton, 
about one-quarter of Auburn, one-fifth of Dudley, and three or 
four square miles of the north-east portion of Sturbridge. The 
original proprietors were Robert Thompson, Daniel Cox, Will- 
iam Stoughton, John Blackwell, and Joseph Dudley. A portion 
of the land six and two-thirds miles long, and two and one-half 
miles wide was reserved to be given to the settlers for a "Village," 
or "General Plantation." 



30 Genealogy of the Shumway Family 

The deed of division between the proprietors is an historical 
document of exceeding interest. It is now in the possession 
of the N. Y. Historical Society, and bears the date, July 3, 1688. 
One interesting point in it is the description of Mr. Dudley's 
division, where it gives one boundary as "a white oak stake, 
square, driven in the meadow, by the river which runs by and 
from the French houses." This is the only record known, re- 
garding the existence of the houses of the French settlers, in 
1688, and confirms what tradition says of their location. 

Nearly three years elapsed after the original grant for New 
Oxford, before anything was done to colonize. In the spring 
of 1685, upon petition of the grantees, the time stipulated for 
making the settlement was extended three years; but before this 
time had expired, the problem was solved, and the requisite num- 
ber of settlers from a people of a strange country and language, 
and a most remarkable history was here. Important epochs in 
the history of this people have been already described. 

"As compared with the Puritans, they were as firm and 
well established in their religious opinions, as devout, less bigoted, 
and more cultivated and refined. They were intelligent in relig- 
ious matters, profound Bible students, and also excelled in music. 
As artisans in silks, glass, rich jewelry, and pottery, they have 
never been excelled; and to this day, the best workers in these 
materials in London are their descendants." (Daniels 64) 

Gabriel Bernon, a merchant of La Rochelle, who had fled 
to London after the Revocation, was there introduced to Mr. 
Robert Thompson by an eminent Frenchman then in that city. 
The result was an agreement on the part of Mr. Bernon to make 
the settlement on the Oxford grant of thirty French Protestant 
families. 

The history of the enterprise is difficult to trace; but it is 
said that, in the summer of 1686, a number of vessels having on 
board French refugees, arrived at Boston. Among these are 
believed to have been many of those who came to New Oxford. 
The colony was founded in 1686, though the required number of 
families did not occupy it at first. Houses were erected, also a 
church, mills for lumber and for grinding grain. 

A hint of approaching disaster to the colony is furnished by 



Genealogy of the Shumway Family 31 

a petition about October 1694, and which was sent as 
a response to a tax assessment upon "The French Plantation." 

"To His Excellency Sir William Phipps, Kn't. Capt. Gen- 
eral and Governor in Chief of Their Majesties' 
Province of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, 
and to The Honorable Council" : 

The humble petition of Andrew Sigourney, Constable of the 
French Plantation, humbly sheweth unto Your Excellency and 
to Your Honors, that your petitioner received an order from Mr. 
James Taylor Treasurer for collecting eight pounds six shillings 
in our plantation for Poll money, now whereas the Indians have 
appeared several times this Summer, we were forced to garrison 
ourselves for three months together and several families fled, 
so that all our Summer harvest of hay and corn hath gone to 
ruin by the beasts and cattle which hath brought us so low that 
we have not enough to supply our own necessities many other 
families abandoning likewise, so that we have none left but 
Mr. Bondet our minister and the poorest of our plantation so 
that we are incapable of paying said Poll unless we dispose of 
what little we have and quit our plantations. Wherefore humbly 
entreat this Honorable Council to consider our miseries and 
incapacity of paying this poll, and as in duty bound we shall 
ever pray." 

The cause of the decline and final extinction of the settle- 
ment is suggested in the statement "the Indians have appeared." 

The disintegration began at the time of the disasters set 
forth in this appeal. Their farming operations were interfered 
with, and one after another abandoned the place. 

The hostile Indians are thought to have been some of the 
fugitives from the army of King Philip (Ammidown 136) ; others 
claim they were the local Nipmucks, inflamed and aroused by 
association with followers of Philip. Possibly a force, the evil 
influence of which is marked by similar results in our own time 
had somewhat to do with the disturbances; for there is an old 
paper in the archives of Massachusetts which bears the endorsed 
title, "Mr. Daniel Bondet's Representation referring to New 
Oxford July 6, 1691," and is a protest against the sale of rum 
to the Indians. He quotes one instance of crime directly charge- 



32 Genealogy of the Shumway Family 

able to this source. The paper is signed "Daniel Bondet, Minister 
of the Gospel in a French Congregation at New Oxford." 

"The culminating blow to the little settlement was the John- 
son massacre, August 25, 1696, and this decided its fate. The 
house of Johnson stood apart from the others, and tradition says 
the attacking Indians stole upon the dwelling toward the close 
of the day and, entering it stealthily, seized three young children 
of the family, and killed them by crushing their heads against the 
stones of the fireplace. With the help of her brother, the mother, 
in her terror — her first thought going toward her absent husband 
— fled toward Woodstock, whither he had gone on business, hop- 
ing to meet him on his return. In parts of the way there were 
two paths, and in going and coming, the husband and wife passed 
each other, she going on to Woodstock, and he coming to his 
home — to be met and killed at his own door, by the murderers 
of his children." 

"Reduced and waning as the settlement was at this date, 
it is not surprising that such an attack should fill the people with 
dismay, and determine them to leave and seek a place of safety." 

"The story of their leaving is full of touching interest, and 
has been often repeated among the dwellers in Oxford in olden 
times. Tradition says that early in the morning of the day of 
their departure — each family having bade adieu to its plantation 
and home — they assembled at the church, where they had a sea- 
son of worship. They afterward repaired to the burying-ground 
to take leave of the graves of departed friends, and then, in a 
procession, moved onward over the rough forest road toward 
Boston." (Daniels 83-85.) 

A few are said to have returned, afterward, but it is uncertain 
when this was; they had all disappeared some years before the 
settlement by the English, in 1713. 

The movement for a re-settlement of Oxford by English 
families is set forth in the following preamble and deed from the 
original proprietors: 

"To all persons unto whom these presents shall come: 
Joseph Dudley of Roxbury, in the County of Suffolk, and Prov- 
ince of the Massachusetts Bay in New England, Esq; William 
Taylor of Dorchester in the same county, Esq. ; Peter Sargent of

Boston, Esq., and Mehetable, his wife; John Nelson, of Boston, 
Esq., and EHzabeth, his wife; as they the said William Taylor, 
Peter Sargent, and John Dan forth, are the heirs and executors 
of the Hon. William Stoughton, late of Dorchester, deceased, 
send greeting:" 

"WHEREAS, The General Court of the colony of the 
Massachusetts Bay, in the year one thousand six hundred and 
eighty-two, granted to said Joseph Dudley, William Stoughton, 
and their associates, a certain tract of land in the Nipmuck coun- 
try, eight miles square, for a township, as may be seen more at 
large by the records of the General Court, pursuant whereunto, 
and for the uses aforesaid, the said Joseph Dudley, William 
Stoughton, and their associates, in the year one thousand six 
hundred and eighty-six, brought over thirty families of French 
Protestants into this country, and settled them upon the eastern 
part of the said tract of land, and reserved, granted, and set 
apart 11,250 acres for a village, called Oxford, for the said 
families, and bounded it as a plat upon record will more fully 
appear; but forasmuch as the said French families have, many 
years since, wholly left and deserted their settlements in said 
village, and the said lands, as well by their deserting the same, 
and refusing to return, upon public proclamation made for that 
end, as by the voluntary surrender of most of them, are now 
reinvested in and restored to and become the estate and at the 
disposition of the original proprietors, their heirs and successors, 
for the ends aforesaid:" 

"AND WHEREAS, There are sundry good families of her 
Majesty's subjects within this province who ofifer themselves 
to go out and resettle the said village, whereby they may be 
serviceable to the province, and the end and design of the original 
grant aforesaid be answered and attained:" 

"Now know ye, that the said Joseph Dudley, William Taylor 
&c. for and in consideration and to the uses and intents above 
mentioned 

"Have fully freely and absolutely, and by these presents do 
give, grant and confirm unto Samuel Hageburn &c. and others 
their associates, so as their number amount to thirty families, at 
least all that part of the said tract of land, &c. &c. herein above

mentioned ; Provided always, that if any of the persons, grantees 
above named, or any of their associates, shall neglect to settle 
upon and improve said land, with themselves and families, by the 
space of two years next ensuing, — or being settled thereon, shall 
leave and desert the same, and not return to their respective 
habitations in the said town upon due notice given, — that then, 
in such case it shall and may be lawful to and for the rest of 
the grantees and their associates, heirs, or assigns, respectively, 
or the major part of them, to seize upon and take the said 
estate or estates of such person or persons so deserting. Ex- 
cepting always, and reserving to GABRIEL BERNON, mer- 
chant, the whole of his right, grant, or purchase, which made 
one of the original proprietors, as by deed or record thereof may 
appear. 

''In witness whereof, The parties above named to these 
presents have hereunto interchangeably set their hands and seals, 
the 8th day of July, in the 12th year of her Majesty's reign, 
Anno Domini, 1713.

Oliver Shumway^ (Peter,^ Peter^), 

b. May lo, 1701, in Boxford, Mass. ; m. Sarah Pratt Sep. 3, 
1724; the records yield Httle information regarding him; his 
children were all born in Oxford, so that probably most of 
his life was spent there; his occupation was farming, and 
he does not appear to have ever held any public office ; children :

document :

connected with the army of the Revolution, as his name appears 
on a muster-roll, Oct. 7, 1775, at Roxbury Camp; it is there- 
fore quite probable that he may have participated in the battle 
of Bunker Hill ; he was at that time a drummer from Oxford ; 
he is also mentioned in other records as serving short terms 
of enlistment; about the year 1786, he removed to Lebanon 
Springs, N. Y., where the remainder of his life was spent; 
after leaving the army, he worked at the trade of a carpenter ; 
houses built by him in 1786 were still standing in 1889; he m.

vessel, on which he made a number of voyages; later, he be- 
came engaged in the general trading business, and made voy- 
ages to South America, West Indies, Australia, and other 
important points, each time sailing from Boston; after some 
years, he retired from a sea- faring life, and entered into the 
building business in New York City; thence he removed to

the same business ; he built shops and mills, in which he also 
conducted a manufacturing business successfully; while erect-

We buried what remained. 
But to the soul, God, the Giver, 

Has proved a prior claim."

him with the Army of the Revolution; in Col. Porter's regi- 
ment, Capt. Bardwell's company, he is listed as "Corporal 
Amasa Shumway," and is credited with service "i month and 
2 days, 130 miles from home;" in a document relating to 
Capt. Eli Parker's company. Col. Leonard's regiment, which 
was raised to reinforce the Continental army at Ticonderoga, 
for two months in 1777, he appears credited with service "2 
mos. and 8 days, 2i. — 3s. — 4d;" he was a "minute man" of 
those times, and has been called "Captain" by his descendants; 
it is said he was at the battle of Bennington ; but arrived about 
the time of the surrender of Burgoyne's force; at the close 
of the war, he removed to Whitingham, Vt., while that locality 
was a wilderness; his brother Levi accompanied him, and 
together, they cleared the land for a settlement, and after- 
wards became thrifty farmers; he was also quite a pubhc 
spirited citizen in his day; H. B. Ballou, the Town Clerk, 
writes: "Amasa was a business man of some note in the town, 
as appears from records and documents signed by him in 
various official capacities." He served as Treasurer of Whit- 
ingham, also as Constable several tei-ms; he was born in 
Oxford, and as early as 1775, enlisted in the army from 
Belchertown; but no records of his family appear at either 
place excepting his birth; m. (ist) Sarah Gleason, who was

Nov. 13, 1729, in Oxford. 

Very little is known of Jeremiah Shumway beyond the facts 
that he was born in Boxford, Mass. ; that he removed to Oxford 
in 17 13 with his father, who became one of the pioneer settlers 
of the town; a Muster Roll (Mass. Records at Boston) of Capt. 
John Learned's Company, Feb. 17, 1757, has the name of Jere- 
miah Shumway from Oxford, Corporal, Sep. 24. This con- 
nects him with the French and Indian War. His family record 
is as follows : children :

Col. Jeremiah Shumway^ (Jeremiah,* Jeremiah,^ Peter,^ 
Peter^), 
b. Aug. 9, 1762, in Sturbridge, Mass., d. Oct. 24, 1801 ; though 
he died in young manhood, he was a man of note. He enlisted 
in the army when a mere youth, and rose to the rank of Colonel. 
Extract from the Mass. Records at Boston: "A List of names 
that went from Dudley, Mass. into the army in the year 1780 
Marched 26 June and dismissed 10"' DeC 1780 = 5 mo. 23 
day £11 — los — 8d [among others] Jeremiah Shumway — Went 
to reinforce the Continental army agreeable to resolve of the 
General Court. [Signed by the four Selectmen of Dudley]"; 
in another record he is described "Age 18 — 5 ft 5 in — dark — 
Farmer" ; at the close of the War of the Revolution, he asso- 
ciated himself with Col. Benjamin Freeman in the purchase 
of a farm in Sturbridge, where, later, he married the only 
daughter of Col. Freeman. They also conducted the only hotel 
and store in town at that time. His name appears as one of 
the petitioners to incorporate a new parish in the southeast 
part of Sturbridge and including parts of Dudley and Charl- 
ton, under the name of "The Second Religious Society in the 
Town of Charlton." When the church building was completed, 
the records show his name among the proprietors, and in the 
list of pew-owners is "Jeremiah Shumway, Pew 24, price 
$29.00." In the assessors' book of valuations for the year 1798, 
he is listed as the owner of 150 acres of land valued at $1,912. 
He was a man greatly beloved by his acquaintances, and his 
funeral was largely attended by people from adjoining towns. 
His father-in-law had donated to the town land for a cemetery, 
and he was the first adult buried therein. His family record 
is as follows: m. Apr. 19, 1786, Keziah Freeman; she was b.

in a newspaper of March, 1876, the following item appeared, 
relating to her : 

a courageous girl. 

The "grit" of the New England girl has seldom been 
displayed to better advantage than on the occasion of the fire 
in Danielsonville. The telegraph operator, Miss Shumway, 
was called to send dispatches to Norwich. The building in 
which the ofifice was located was all aflame, but with rare cool- 
ness she sent the message, surrounded by flames and nearly 
stifled with smoke. Her hand was nearly covered with the 
cinders, and the door-knob was too hot to be handled with 
comfort.

truth of this anecdote of old Priest , who was manv 

years ago pastor of Church, claiming to have overheard 

it when a boy : The pastor was 'particularly fond' of a good 
horse, and always kept his 'pacer.' One of his parishioners, 
Jeremiah Shumway, owned a fine animal which the clergyman 
desired to possess, and one Sunday morning Mr, Shumway 
drove up to the church door in fine style just as the minister 
was about dismounting from his own carriage, a few steps 
away. The preacher and his parishioner entered the church 
door together. The former tapped Mr. Shumway on the 
shoulder and drew him aside a moment. 'Jerry,' said the 
good man familiarly, 'when I get to preaching you slip out

and take a few turns up and down the road with my mare, 
and after meeting is over^ tell me how you will trade.' And 
they traded on Monday morning." It is said that in his later 
years he lived a hermit life, but was hospitable to homeless 
men and tramps, frequently giving shelter and care to such for 
two or three days ; he was murdered in his eighty-second year 
by a tramp in Montville, near Norwich, Conn., where he lived ; 
no record of any issue.

Ohio, on a six weeks' prospecting trip ; went on horseback as 
far as Buffalo; left their horses there and went on foot the 
remainder of the journey because the route was through such 
a dense forest. Earlier prospectors had made a clearing and 
built a log cabin near the present site of Bainbridge, O. ; they 
made their headquarters with them while they remained. On 
one of their trips, they became lost, and wandered about for a 
whole day before succeeding in finding the cabin. During this 
time they were in peril from Indians, and wild beasts. Jere- 
miah selected a site in what is now known as Glenville (suburb

there with his family in the summer of 1819; they came in two 
covered wagons, doing their own cooking on the way, and 
driving a cow. The journey required six weeks. Previous to 
starting, he sold his farm on Hoosac Mountain (Mass.) for 
$1,500, which he invested in land as stated. He is described

1728, he removed to Sturbridge and took up land on what 
was later known as "Shumway Hill," being admitted into 
partnership with the original grantees after the grant was made 
to 42 petitioners Sept. 3, 1729; his lot was No. 44; he is said 
to have lived at first between two large rocks, putting a roof 
over the rocks; on this roof he could frequently hear the sound 
of the prowling wolves during the night; in this locality all 
his children were born ; he filled several town official positions, 
and was widely respected; at a meeting of the town Oct. 14, 
1 74 1, a committee was chosen "to lot out the room [in church] 
convenient size for pews" ; there was sufficient room for eigh- 
teen and each lot was given to the head of a family, he to 
build the pew and occupy it with his family during his natural 
life and the widow, should she succeed him; at her decease 
the pew was to revert to the town by the payment of the 
original cost to the estate; the committee reported Feb. 9,

Celia E. Shumway" (Cyrus,^ Alfred,^ Asa,* David,^ Peter,-

b. Apr. 14, 1838, in Akron, Ohio; m. to Edward R, Black 
Mar. 21, 1855; he was b. Feb. 14, 1832, d. Nov. 21, 1903. 
He held a responsible position with the Pennsylvania R. R. 
Co., and became a participator in some of the stirring events in 
the nation's history early in 1861. Abraham Lincoln had 
received many invitations from the cities and State capitals 
between Springfield, 111., and Washington, to permit the people 
to honor him by receptions, meetings, &c., as he was en route 
to the nation's capital. He decided to accept eleven of these; 
so that the journey consumed about two weeks. During this 
fortnight, delegates from the States in insurrection were in ses- 
sion at Montgomery, Ala., organizing a government openly 
pledged to rebellion, and public feeling was at a high tension. 
Threats had been made in newspapers to seize Washington, to 
burn public buildings, and some uneasiness was felt for Mr. 
Lincoln's safety. While in Philadelphia on the night of Febru- 
ary 21, 1 86 1, he received several warnings that an attempt upon 
his life would be made before he reached Washington. A 
conference was held at the Continental Hotel, and it was decided 
that he should go to Harrisburg and fulfil his engagement for 
a reception by the Governor and Legislature there, and be 
guided by events. At a conference during dinner at Harris- 
bug, it was the opinion that he should proceed that night, 
secretly, to Washington via Philadelphia. Mr. Lincoln was 
the only one who disapproved. "What would the nation think," 
he said impressively, "of its President stealing into the capital 
like a thief in the night?" His friends were unanimous, how- 
ever, and Lincoln finally yielded to their plans. The special 
train left Harrisburg about six o'clock that night, and Edward 
R. Black was the engineer. He once related the story of the 
trip thus: "1 was told to make no stops, and when obliged 
to take water, to do so at the most secluded places I could; 
to keep a sharp lookout, and to arrive at 30th Street, West 
Philadelphia, by 10 o'clock, sure. Feeling the great responsi- 
bility upon me, you may be sure I looked after things mighty

sharp. At lo P. M. we reached 30th Street, a closed cab was 
waiting, to which Mr. Lincoln walked, and was driven to 
Broad and Prime Streets, which was then the station of the 
P. W. &. B. R. R. The next morning, when the United States 
was at breakfast, the news had been flashed over the wires 
that President Lincoln was safe in Washington, while the 
nation thought he was in Harrisburg." The Presidential party 
at Harrisburg (including Col. Scott, President of the Penn. 
R, R.,) passed a sleepless night, but as day was breaking. Col. 
Scott received an unsigned dispatch reading, "Plums delivered 
nuts safely," which had been previously arranged, and their 
anxiety was relieved. Nicolay and Hay's "Life of Lincoln" 
adds : "Public opinion at the time, and for years afterwards, 
was puzzled by the event, and the utmost contrariety of com- 
ment, ranging from the highest praise to the severest detraction 
which caricature, ridicule, and denunciation could express, was 
long current. Newspapers vaguely explained that a plot existed 
to assassinate him on his way through Baltimore about mid- 
day of Saturday, which plot was prevented by the secret jour- 
ney on Friday night. This theory has neither been proved or 
disproved by the lapse of time. Mr. Lincoln did not enter- 
tain it in this form, or base his course upon it. Long after, he 
said : 'I did not then, nor do I now believe I should have been 
assassinated; but I thought it wise to run no risk where no 
risk was necessary.' "

vivid picture of him : "A Veteran Whip. Mr. A. Shumway 
of Belchertown has driven the stage between that town and 
Northampton more than 25 successive years. He has passed 
over the road twice a day, and after making proper deductions, 
it will be found that he has traveled 218,400 miles during this 
period. His route at both extremities is in the dark of morning 
or evening, and during terrific storms the darkness has been 
intense; yet he has never met with a serious accident of any 
kind. When it is remembered that he has conveyed at least 
124,000 passengers, and has neither broken a limb nor upset 
his coach, surely such a man deserves well of his country."

he and his wife left Andover in 1831 for Ohio, locating in 
Carlisle, Loraine County, where he built a saw-mill and 
remained until 1836 ; then started with a pair of horses, a yoke 
of oxen, and a single buggy for Illinois, settling in Kishwau- 
kee, on Rock River; they first occupied a trapper's log cabin, 
and he built another saw-mill, which was burned by a law- 
less band of men; he re-built on the south bend, and got out 
the lumber for a hotel which he built ("tavern" it was called 
in those days) ; later, entering a claim for land, he became a 
prosperous farmer, and remodeled the hotel into the "Old 
Shumway Homestead," as it has since been known ; his 
descendants within convenient distance gather each year at this 
place and celebrate the advent of the old pioneer in that region ;

WILL OF AMOS SHUMWAY. 

In the Name of God Amen ! I, Amos Shumway of Oxford 
in the county of Worcester and Commonwealth of Massachu- 
setts Yeoman being advanced in years and labouring under 
infirmity of Body, but of a sound mind and memory, through 
Divine Goodness — calling to mind the Mortality of my Body 
and having a mind to settle my Estate before I die do make and 
ordain this to be my last Will and Testament (hereby revok- 
ing all former Wills by me heretofore made) 

And first of all — I yield up and surrender my Soul to God 
who gave it, in and through the merits of Jesus Christ, my 
only Saviour and Redeemer, my Body to the earth by decent 
Christian burial. The Worldly estate God hath been graciously 
pleased to bestow upon me, my Will is that it is to be disposed 
of in the following manner — that is to say. 
Imprimis I give unto my eldest son Jabez Shumway Fifty 
Dollars to be paid him in two years time after my decease by 



Genealogy of the Shumway Family 405 

my Executor hereafter named — likewise one fourth part of my 
Wearing Apparel in addition to what he hath already received 

Item I give unto my second son Amos Shumway his heirs and 
assigns forever my Homestead Farm lying in Oxford whereon 
I now dwell with all the priviledges and appurtenances thereto 
belonging, and my part of the Ninth lot in Oxford Great Cedar 
Swamp (so called) now lying in Ward. I likewise give him 
all my Personal Moveable Estate excepting what I shall par- 
ticularly dispose of otherwise in this my Will. 

Item I give unto my third Son Abishai Shumway Sixty Dol- 
lars to be paid him in six months after my decease by my 
Executor hereafter named; likewise one fourth part of my 
Wearing Apparel in addition to what he hath already received. 

Item I give unto my fourth Son Nehemiah Shumway Sixty 
Dollars to be paid him in one year after my decease by my 
Executor — Likewise one fourth part of my Wearing Apparel 
in addition to what he hath already received and had be- 
stowed upon him — My meaning in the Bequests to my three 
Sons viz. Jabez, Abishai, and Nehemiah is that they should 
have and receive the sums and articles as before specified 
exclusive of what they or either of them have at any time 
already received of me or of my Son Amos. 

Item I give unto my two Daughters viz Dorcas Coburn (wife 
of Ebenezer Coburn) and Ruth Hudson (wife of William 
Hudson) Fifteen Dollars each to be paid them (severally) 
in one year after my decease by my Exec^ I Likewise give 
them my indoor Moveables to be equally divided between them.

ables to my two Daughters is — that they have and receive all

b. Aug. 4, 1746, in Oxford, Mass., d. June 30, 1821 ; m. Olive 
Penniman Mar. 29, 1775; she was b. Feb. 24, 1751, d. Sep. 17, 
1823; he was the ancestor of the Medway, Mass., Shumways, 
coming to that place from Oxford about the year 1767; was a 
poor man, his entire capital on arrival amounting to less than 
one dollar; his trade was stone-wall building, at which he 
found abundant employment, perhaps for the reason that he 
was willing to work for twenty cents a day, when the current 
wages were twenty-five cents; he was skilful in "dressing" 
mill-stones ; also worked at farming for James Penniman, near 
E. Medway (now Millis), where he "met his fate" in the 
person of the eldest daughter, Olive; by rigid economy, he 
saved a snug sum of money in the Continental currency of the 
time, and contracted to buy a farm in N. Bellingham; but 
before the purchase money was paid, the Continental currency 
had so depreciated in value, that his little wealth practically 
vanished ; his father invited them to return to Oxford, and 
they did so, but remained only a year, as his wife became 
"homesick"; he then leased a farm in Bellingham (Partridge- 
town), and in three years had accumulated sufficient money to 
buy the place in West Medway which has since been known as 
the "Shumway Farm" in local nomenclature ; he was a man 
of affairs, one of the Town Assessors for eight terms, Select- 
man for five terms, and frequently acted as an administrator 
of estates, showing the public confidence in his sterling char- 
acter; his name appears on the muster-roll of Capt. Joseph

Lovell's company of "Minute-men" in the official records at 
the State House in Boston; never joined any church, but was 
rehgiously inclined; attended Sunday services regularly, and 
was a liberal contributor for their support; his diary con- 
tains many quaint and interesting items: it was home-made, a 
copy of "The Massachusetts Spy," folded to small size, form- 
ing the cover, and on a fly leaf this inscription — "Jabez Shum- 
way of Medway His Book" ; the first entry is : "October

[against this entry he has written in the margin "Abigail Penni- 
man" — as if the remarks embodied his opinion of her] ; 

"The first time people came to New England was the month 
"of November 1620. The first white child that was born was 
"boy whose name was Peregrine. The first catel that Came 
" over was three hefers and a bull they came over 1624."

record stands in evidence thereof] ;

He also transcribed in this diary the Apostles' Creed in full ; 
perhaps this was his way of confessing his Christianity, rather 
than by joining the Church; his death resulted from injuries 
received by being thrown from a horse and the contempt for 
physical injury or ailment which every man of those times 
held he ought to feel; children:

the lumber to build the modern Shumway house, which he 
occupied with his newly made bride ; his life was spent on the 
farm ; he was sergeant in the local militia company commanded 
by Capt. Otis Fairbanks, and was afterwards chosen captain, 
but declined to accept; he united with the Congregational 
Church in 1827; Mrs. Shumway was a prominent worker in 
the Church, with which she united in 1823; although she had 
the care of rearing a large family, she found time for active 
co-operation with the efficient wife of the pastor, Mrs. Ide, 
and the sight of these two in the parson's chaise, going about 
the parish to secure funds for missions, was a frequent one; 
the homestead was famous, as long as the parents lived, for 
its Thanksgiving reunions, some of the children and grand- 
children coming long distances, and gathering to the number 
of thirty or forty on these occasions ; children :
